1:43 am

jillibus

It's a big help if you have a PC and not a Mac -- puts everything on one page and has a box where if you type one word it goes to the lists and more than one word goes to the chat. It's free -- just email Lickety and he will send it -- IF you have a PC

1:44 am

kimmtoats

Ah, but I have a mac!

1:44 am

jillibus

oh, too bad!

1:45 am

1:55 am

Andree

bye flosey

1:55 am

highwiregirl

bye

1:55 am

jillibus

1:55 am

jillibus

nite flosey ;)

1:55 am

PAV3

1:55 am

jillibus

1:56 am

highwiregirl

lots of dog bites in general but today we had two poms that were bitten- and one with a fracture and one with a chocolate intox

1:56 am

jillibus

wtg pav! On all counts!

1:56 am

jillibus

oh my -- somebody didn't know about chocs for dogs?

1:57 am

PAV3

phantom = heroine, but th4, where is Wonder Woman these days?

1:58 am

KatieMcG

a chocolate intox?

1:58 am

jillibus

hello katie

1:58 am

PAV3

intoxication

1:58 am

highwiregirl

chocolate is toxic to dogs

1:59 am

KatieMcG

hello everyone. Does that mean he is poorly because he has too much chocolate?

1:59 am

highwiregirl

sorry using clinicspeak

1:59 am

Andree

hi katie

2:00 am

Andree

some owners are crazy, thought all dog owners knew no chocolate for dogs

2:01 am

PAV3

ok, having hiccups here...45 to go for tomorrow

2:01 am

PAV3

ok, having hiccups here...45
to go for tomorrow

2:02 am

jillibus

wd pav

2:03 am

highwiregirl

you'd be suprised what people don't know, how many sick pets we see because people don't bother to vaccinate

2:04 am

jillibus

and some don't believe in vaccination *shakes head sadly

2:05 am

highwiregirl

2 parvo cases today

2:08 am

jillibus

sheesh

2:08 am

Andree

maybe they do know but don't care

2:09 am

Andree

i can't even understand why unless a dog is to be bred or shown that desexing isn't mandatory

2:10 am

highwiregirl

i wish they'd pass a law for that

2:10 am

highwiregirl

or subsidise it

2:11 am

jillibus

me too -- we sold a Dane pup to a "nice" woman with an official CKC Non-breeding Agreement -- she bred her anyway so of course the pups couldn't be registered.

2:12 am

jillibus

They didn't like to spay at 12 weeks then

2:12 am

highwiregirl

wierd. now they do it with lazers.

2:13 am

Andree

my vet does it at 6 months, hugo had his op a month ago, there was a minimum of fuss from him

2:14 am

highwiregirl

every vet has their own opinion

2:16 am

ursh

Here in SA most people spay females but tend to leave males unless he has problems. cats they tend to also leave the males which creates probs with fighting - but hundreds and hundreds of unwanted animals especially in rural areas

2:17 am

highwiregirl

yes, and it's strange b/c its usually cheaper to fix males

2:17 am

highwiregirl

they tend to be more agressive if not fixed

2:18 am

ursh

We have three toms all neutered - no aggression and no scent marking

2:21 am

highwiregirl

yeah, mine is fixed and he's a doll

2:23 am

jillibus

don't unfixed toms spray like mad (stinky)?

2:23 am

jillibus

HW -- would they spay a Dane with lasers?

2:24 am

ursh

We get a male visiting at night and he has sprayed somewhere in my office - i cant find the spot and it smells awful in here

2:24 am

jillibus

Oh yuk, ursh!

2:24 am

highwiregirl

they did my dog with lazers

2:25 am

jillibus

but your dog is a toy poodle, isn't she?

2:25 am

highwiregirl

yes

2:27 am

jillibus

when did they start doing that, HW? My late susiecat had surgery about 20 years ago.

2:27 am

highwiregirl

gosh i dunno, in the last 5 years?

2:27 am

Andree

ha ha , my vet is nearly 70, he probably isn't ready for lazer

2:28 am

jillibus

ah, progress!

2:28 am

Andree

i have been taking dogs and cats to him for nearly 40 years and feel loathe to change

2:28 am

jillibus

I wonder if they do that here -- must ask. Montreal is so avant-garde.

2:29 am

Andree

my son was in toronto last week, said its a lovely town

2:29 am

jillibus

andree, mere 70-yr-olds aren't fuddyduds, lol!

2:29 am

highwiregirl

once you trust someone there's no point in making a change

2:30 am

Andree

is that anywhere near you jilli

2:30 am

Andree

i know jilli, will hate it when he retires

2:30 am

jillibus

Toronto? Absolutely almost on the other side of Canada, Andree.

2:32 am

Andree

shows how much i know about canada jilli

2:32 am

highwiregirl

herinfernallady

Hello

3:51 am

sprite

hey lady

3:52 am

herinfernallady

How are you? Sorry I took so long to replyh. I am eating dinner and fighting off a cat

3:52 am

sprite

lol busy lady! Enjoy dinner. I am a little better again, slept well and have some more energy. So on the mend!
And you?

3:54 am

herinfernallady

I went to the gym and was a human hamster

3:54 am

sprite

awwwwwww cute!

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Yer well My butt needs deexpanding. The cat thinks that because I have salmon that means so does she

3:58 am

sprite

hehehe don't worry too much about your butt, just keep on eating healthy and you will be fine. You're an expert!

4:02 am

herinfernallady

I will get thinner I need to. This fish is fantastic

4:02 am

sprite

lol I haven't even had breakfast yet. Fish is a thought far from me :)

4:04 am

herinfernallady

My friends mum won a United Nations Human Rights Media Award for Radio For her journalism. I think I need to pick her brains

4:05 am

sprite

wooooot gratz!

4:06 am

herinfernallady

This was new news to me

4:07 am

sprite

very cool

4:07 am

herinfernallady

I went to the fish store to buy this fish and they were gross. I went to Aldi and and the fish was fantastic

4:08 am

sprite

Aldi usually has quality stuff. German store, originally. Germans demand good products.

4:09 am

herinfernallady

I was suprised at how poor the fish store was. The fish was grey and well gross. It was not plump and fresh looking. Aldi has great stuff

4:19 am

sprite

wow finally finding words with the -ing ending.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Opps I haven't even started

4:20 am

sprite

I am almost do4 and thought that ending was hardly used. But it is used more than I thought.

4:22 am

herinfernallady

I never see that ing ending. My cat is so daft I just gave her real fresh fish and nope not interested

4:22 am

sprite

lol lady... silly cat

4:23 am

sprite

5:00 am

rubyfoo

5:00 am

rubyfoo

except I'm alone here :((

5:02 am

Eva

no you're not ruby...just doing the first run through

5:02 am

rubyfoo

hello eva

5:02 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid!

5:03 am

Eva

as I don't have any of the 8's yet I'm not in love

5:03 am

rubyfoo

I don't either, but I'm fickle!

5:05 am

Eva

well it's a relief to know theyre not obvious

5:05 am

rubyfoo

they're never obvious to be! but I found 3 7's and that's a lot for me!

5:07 am

Eva

ah-just got the in8!

5:08 am

rubyfoo

congrats! does it relate to anything else?

5:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm putting the monkeys to work!

5:09 am

Eva

no, but is has the long end---

5:13 am

rubyfoo

they found an in7!

5:13 am

rubyfoo

good mokeys!

5:15 am

Eva

the 8's are in, or, ro and in

5:16 am

Eva

supposedly the in is the only vaguely normal word

5:16 am

rubyfoo

maybe if I offer a banana.....

5:16 am

rubyfoo

it's funny that a lot of scrabble words don't work in here: zins zines

5:16 am

Eva

sorry-that's cr, in, or, ro

5:21 am

rubyfoo

thank you for trying; I think I need some more coffee

5:21 am

Eva

I need a different grid!

5:21 am

rubyfoo

I need a different brain!

5:22 am

Eva

that too

5:22 am

rubyfoo

I have four 7's to offer if they would help....

5:22 am

rubyfoo

and both z's, lol

5:23 am

Eva

we can trade: I have cr7/36,do7/40,ho7/40, in7/52

5:23 am

Eva

ooh, I'd love the second z-only have zi4/11

5:24 am

rubyfoo

one who does that, or a snappy line!

5:24 am

rubyfoo

zi6/39

5:24 am

Eva

the in7 begins like getting money when someone dies and then has the gerund ending

5:25 am

rubyfoo

also sw7/52 from the 60's

5:25 am

Eva

thanks!

5:25 am

Eva

had that one too-I guess i have 5 7's

5:25 am

rubyfoo

were those clues any good? mine tend to be a little weird

5:26 am

Eva

those were great

5:26 am

rubyfoo

ignorant about a gerund ending *blushing*

5:26 am

Eva

here's another for the in8-it means the property of belonging to something, being a property of something. "ing" is the gerund

5:26 am

Eva

no need to blush

5:27 am

lynxxx

Hi - another in7 is in & brawl

5:28 am

rubyfoo

that one I have! hello lynxxxx

5:28 am

Eva

if you take the verb for getting money from someone's estate and remove to letters from the middle you'll have the in8

5:28 am

Eva

have that one lynxx but thanks

5:28 am

Eva

any clues for the cr, or and ro 8's lynxx?

5:28 am

Eva

6:00 am

Eva

hi wild

6:00 am

Eva

merp is wild this morning-has killed two critters over night.

6:02 am

Eva

You'd think there would be some sort of learning curve for rodents....that they could smell the predator, that one of them would leave a sign "Abandon all hope ye who enter here".

6:02 am

lynxxx

TY Eva. Oh by the way, Haz gets a kickback for all new Moreword users - she will be pleased

6:02 am

Eva

Am I supposed to register or something?

6:02 am

lynxxx

What a good puss!

6:03 am

Eva

yes he is. There's a squirrel in the wall who is driving us both nuts. I've ordered a superduper ultrasonic transmitter to see if that works.

6:04 am

lynxxx

no, just joshing. She is a big fan of Morewords and tells everyone about it - including me

6:04 am

Eva

what a great tool!

6:04 am

Eva

okay-now time to take a break. Having some lower arm pains recently which I think may be carpal tunnel from too much typing.

6:05 am

HI Aloy. I've never seen the chat so quiet before. Where is everyone?

9:05 am

Aloyisius

no idea! Maybe they stayed up late to watch the Health Care vote?

9:05 am

Becca Lorum

Or they are out making the most of the Spring weather.

9:06 am

Becca Lorum

What happened with the vote - are there any results yet?

9:07 am

The air is so fresh and sweet this morning.. we had a huge storm yesterday - the bill PASSED, historic one

9:07 am

Wow - that is momentous.

Wonderful name! Is he your first?

Becca Lorum

Yes, first and only!

9:17 am

Becca Lorum

If he ever sleeps through, then MAYBE we will think about having another one. But only maybe.

9:18 am

Aloyisius

last night we talked with our g-daughter - she lives across the country from us, so I am indebted to modern techno to be able to "visit" with her.. she is 2 1/2 yrs old now. I know how tough the sleep issue is.. and that is one of the reasons my D-I-L is not anxious to have another..

9:19 am

Becca Lorum

Sol wakes up to 8 times every night. I couldn't possibly manage another baby at the moment.

9:19 am

Becca Lorum

And when he does start to sleep, I'm going to be selfish and have some sleep too!

9:20 am

Aloyisius

oh my.. what does the pediatrician say? You must be dragging yourself around some days..

9:21 am

Becca Lorum

Haven't asked for any advice - I don't think there is anything to be done about it except wait and be patient.

9:21 am

Aloyisius

hope he sleeps through the night soon!

9:22 am

Becca Lorum

And I manage with the sleep I get. I surprise myself at how well I cope!

9:22 am

Becca Lorum

THanks Aloy, so do I!

I am very lucky to be here, becca, even though I gripe a lot!

9:45 am

Aloyisius

hi rubyfoo... we used to have one that hopped up and down on the roof by our chimney, chirping/singing on and on, hopping up and down.. I called it "Silly George" for some reason.. enjoy those birds

9:45 am

rubyfoo

great clue, aloy, and how are you?

9:46 am

Aloyisius

9:46 am

rubyfoo

my husband feeds the birds constantly, and only premium sunflower seeds, and although we have some pretty ones, the only one with a good voice is the least pretty, a merle. He has a glorious voice and a large repertoire

9:46 am

Aloyisius

and how are you?

9:46 am

Becca Lorum

Only 35 more words to find! Yay!

9:46 am

I guess if you're not handsome, you have to be a good singer!

9:47 am

Aloyisius

wow, I don't know merles! .. going for bird book..

9:47 am

rubyfoo

Spring makes me feel better, but the same problems continue.....

9:47 am

rubyfoo

it is all black with a yellow beak, about the size of a robin, a ground feeder

9:47 am

rubyfoo

I don't think they exist in the US

9:48 am

rubyfoo

I've had to learn many new birds here, added about 25 to my "life list"

9:48 am

Aloyisius

nope, not in my NA bird book

9:48 am

Becca Lorum

Looks like a blackbird (just loked it up on google!).

9:48 am

rubyfoo

but blackbirds have lovely bright shoulders, non?

9:49 am

Aloyisius

the redwinged blackbirds have lovely epaulets

9:49 am

Aloyisius

we have lots of "blackbirds" , many types

9:49 am

Becca Lorum

Not ordinary ones, they are just black.

9:49 am

rubyfoo

we have little chartreuse birds called verdiers; they look like finches to me but I couldn't find anything like them in any books

9:49 am

rubyfoo

trust me, merles don't

9:50 am

rubyfoo

becca, is there something called a green finch in the UK?

9:50 am

Becca Lorum

I don't know!

9:50 am

rubyfoo

and we have pinsons, lovely ground feeders with black and white shoulders and rose-colored bellies

9:51 am

Becca Lorum

Google says yes.

9:51 am

Becca Lorum

Why do you ask ruby?

9:51 am

rubyfoo

where I grew up in NY, we had nuisance startlings, very pretty individually but dirty and noisy in flocks!

9:51 am

Aloyisius

all newbie birds to me, getting ready to pack my bags and binoculars, lol

9:51 am

Becca Lorum

I'm not very good a birds - I only know the common ones.

9:51 am

rubyfoo

I couldn't find any name for them but verdiers (here) but thought they were finch-like

9:52 am

rubyfoo

my trick to bird watching is putting a feeder just outside a window. You can watch the birds eating (keeping a guide handy) and not have to tromp around in the woods, hoping to get lucky

9:52 am

Becca Lorum

Do an image search on google - you can compare them then and see if they are the same.

9:53 am

rubyfoo

and I could never master binoculars; they are always pointing the wrong way for me

9:53 am

Aloyisius

that is how I started, ruby.. snowed in and the birds came to the feeder, brightening the winter days

9:53 am

rubyfoo

we've had one deep olive green (with a touch of red) woodpecker on the property, but only once

9:54 am

hootowl

I just looked up verdiers on google and got a french info page. Not too helpful :( But they are yellowish, not green??? Hi

9:54 am

Becca Lorum

I'd like to know more.

9:54 am

Aloyisius

hi hootowl!

9:54 am

Ruby, I thought you were just avoiding the pb!

9:57 am

rubyfoo

dinner is cooking and I have to go make a martini for Mr. Nasty (who, by the way, is trying to be nice, but it doesn't convince me). Maybe his plumage will change

9:57 am

Aloyisius

9:57 am

10:14 am

hootowl

Don't really know. They are very good at making rules and then ignoring them.

10:16 am

hootowl

I am usually on at the flip and I try to ignore them. They say no cluing til 1am and then start throwing clues around. I've also noticed outright cluing at 12:10. So what's the point?

The problem or the good thing about babble, is that rules aren't really written down, they are more kind of understood - or not!

10:17 am

Aloyisius

well, I usually don't open chog until I've drained my brain because it spoils the discovery aspect of Babbling for me..

10:17 am

Aloyisius

hi Haz! yes, a very flexible fence

10:18 am

Haz1558

Hello! I'm typing on an unfamiliar keyboard, so apologies for any mistakes.

10:19 am

Aloyisius

guess it all depends on what your goal is.. if you just want to finish the grid, period.. no matter how.. or.. if you want to enjoy the process of doing the grid.. or.. if you want to do both but are constrained by time.. etc etc

10:19 am

Aloyisius

"whatever floats your boat" to put it succinctly

10:20 am

hootowl

yep

10:21 am

flosey

as a player who starts when the grid changes, I agree with HO - it is a somewhat silly 'rule' the people who start 12 hours later (or whatever) have the advantage of all the clues! What's the point

10:21 am

hootowl

I refuse to believe that there are real live people who can finish a 200 word puzzle in 5 min!

10:21 am

Haz1558

Everyone has their own favourite way of doing this, the trick is finding some way for everyone to get along while accommodating everyone's needs/wishes.

10:22 am

Aloyisius

hi flosey!

10:22 am

flosey

and the funny thing, a few jump on anyone who asks for a clue, but then, if they're stumped, find a 'cute' way of saying they just can't find so and so

10:22 am

Aloyisius

must be confusing to a newcomer

10:22 am

hootowl

Hi flosey

10:22 am

flosey

Hi Aloy, Haz, everyone

10:23 am

hootowl

Well that's a big problem. We've been getting a lot of new members and I think they are confused

10:23 am

flosey

Jilli and and hubby and I are meeting Stid and her mom for lunch today

10:23 am

Haz1558

The only thing is that sometimes when you start a grid, you don't necessarily want clues - a bit like someone putting a piece in a jigsaw uninvited. There's no easy solution, but if I were on at flip time, I'd probably hide chat, just to save myself from nervous exhaustion.

10:23 am

Aloyisius

how nice, flosey!

10:24 am

flosey

yes, it's always fun to meet up with babblers we've been chatting with

10:24 am

hootowl

oboy - wish I could be there!

10:24 am

Haz1558

I think Dr-God has just let babble evolve - the whole chat thing and the working out of clues jargon has come from babblers.

10:24 am

flosey

woulldn't it be lovely if we could have a babble reunion

10:24 am

Aloyisius

it is funny, Haz.. at the flip .. sometimes I throw in stats on a word, but mostly I hide chat.. we have some amazing speedy babblers

10:24 am

hootowl

I am in nowhere land in Memphis. May try to meet Une one day but that'll be it

10:25 am

flosey

true Haz, but those who don't want to see clues can easily cover it up - or make it smaller so the chatline doesn't show

10:25 am

Haz1558

I'm genetically programmed to see only four letter words ar first.

10:26 am

flosey

me too, I ignore the big ones that are flying around at flip time

10:26 am

Aloyisius

I seem to be blind to 6 letter words

10:26 am

hootowl

I have done it twice - and that was because I just wanted to prove that a "regular" player could do it too.

10:26 am

Haz1558

They could, flosey, but they'd probably say that an hour of non-cluing is a kind of compromise.

10:27 am

flosey

but still that only applies to players who start at flip

10:27 am

Aloyisius

yes, when you hide chat you miss the comraderie (sp?)

10:27 am

flosey

no one else has to follow that silly 'rule'

10:27 am

flosey

yes, agree Aloy, which is unfortunate

10:27 am

Aloyisius

lol, I know that each of us has self-imposed rules.. I do

10:27 am

hootowl

I'm not sure what they are doing but I get the distinct impression that the people who were starting at the flip when I started this game - are now hiding . So the newbies have taken over.

10:28 am

Haz1558

There's no easy solution to it, unless Dr-G introduces separate chat rooms for those who know, those who don't want to know and those who just want to have a good time.

10:28 am

flosey

ah, could be, H O

10:29 am

sciencegeek

hola

10:29 am

Aloyisius

there are many listed Babblers that I NEVER see in chat

10:29 am

sciencegeek

been reading your comments. I think that I no longer count as a newbie

10:29 am

Aloyisius

and then there is geek...hi geek!

10:29 am

sciencegeek

hundreds, aloy

10:29 am

hootowl

yup

10:29 am

sciencegeek

geek is tired today

10:29 am

hootowl

hi geek

10:30 am

Aloyisius

geek, are you still teaching? You amaze me! I had to drop out of Babble when I was teaching.. exhausting

10:30 am

flosey

yes, one of our friends here on the island never 'enters into

10:30 am

sciencegeek

yes but i am in a very small school.

10:30 am

flosey

chat, just plays her own game

10:31 am

Aloyisius

ah so..

10:31 am

flosey

I have to get lost in this grid, rushing to finish, lunch, pack, bridge tonight, leave 9: am tomorrow

10:31 am

flosey

happy babbling everyone

10:31 am

Haz1558

See you later, flosey.

10:32 am

Aloyisius

dive in and have fun, flosey!

10:32 am

flosey

hahaha - might just drop in to ask for a clue or 2

10:32 am

hootowl

well 2 things burn me up - spelling out a clue and using obscure references. What's wrong with a definition?

10:32 am

hootowl

Hey I'm moving on sat and have to pack...but I'll finish

10:33 am

flosey

H O - some of us don't know what the word means - then even if we check it, it doesn't make sense

10:33 am

Aloyisius

lol .. weirdo words.. no idea what they mean.. (makes note to keep dict. handy)

10:33 am

hootowl

And a clue or 2 is fine. You never ask for "all the g's"

10:33 am

flosey

if someone clued a medical word, I'd have to go to google to find it

10:34 am

hootowl

I realise that - but saying it's it+******n** doesn't help either

10:34 am

flosey

so true

10:34 am

flosey

that's just annoying

10:35 am

Haz1558

Sometimes it's hard to think of a definition. As for obscure references, google is a wonderful tool - hopefully whoever has clued a word thinks it's helpful rather than confusing.

10:35 am

Aloyisius

Haz, could you write a guide to clues? Your clues are outstanding

10:35 am

hootowl

yes!

10:35 am

flosey

everyone does just mean well

10:35 am

flosey

true Aloy

10:36 am

Haz1558

I did write one once for Angelsong's page, but I don't think it's there any more. I probably adhere to the understood though not written down rules of clueing.

10:36 am

hootowl

I realise that defs don't always work but I also find it hard to believe that after having the same word 4 days in a row they either can't find it on day 5 or clue so badly you don't know what they are talking about

10:38 am

hootowl

There have been times when they clued a word and I couldn't figure it out. Later I would find the word on my own and wonder what the h*** they were talking about in their clue

10:38 am

Haz1558

I suppose it's just an illustration of the fact that people's minds work differently.

10:38 am

flosey

indeed H O, some clues can be misleading!

10:39 am

hootowl

I know I am preaching to the choir but it is making me feel better - sorry

10:39 am

Aloyisius

lol , different life experiences to draw upon

10:39 am

movieman

Finished......all without lickety......so that's FIREWORDS!!!!!!

10:40 am

flosey

well it is good to get frustrations out HO, I feel lthe same

10:40 am

EvaNadine

hello there babblers. :)

10:40 am

flosey

10:40 am

Aloyisius

wtg, movieman! congrats!!!

10:40 am

hootowl

I'm gonna stop now - really do have to pack. Seeya later

10:40 am

Aloyisius

hi Eva

10:40 am

Haz1558

Well done, Movieman! Hello EvaNadine.

10:40 am

flosey

Hi Eva, and must say bye again as I delve into the grid to finish quickly (if possible)

10:40 am

Haz1558

Bye hootowl.

10:41 am

Aloyisius

bye, owl.. see you next time (-:

10:41 am

flosey

Bye H O

10:41 am

EvaNadine

how are we, this monday?

10:42 am

Aloyisius

speaking of Lickety, I was so sorry to see the news of MrP's fractures.. any update?

10:43 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Everyone

10:43 am

Aloyisius

hi Momneeds

10:44 am

Boobear

hi all

10:44 am

flosey

hugs all, am going to cover up the chat, it's too tempting to visit!

10:44 am

Haz1558

Not that I know of, Aloy, I'm assuming that FB will give details.

10:45 am

EvaNadine

hints for any 8s?

10:45 am

flosey

hi Boo

10:45 am

Aloyisius

hi Boo

10:45 am

flosey

there's a or8

10:45 am

flosey

cr8

10:45 am

flosey

that's all I have

10:45 am

Haz1558

in8 - if it began with ad, you'd be sticking to something.

10:46 am

EvaNadine

TY haz. gotta noodle those, flosey. :)

10:48 am

Aloyisius

just found my last word, ro8, a unit of xray radiation

10:48 am

inge

ne

10:48 am

Aloyisius

hi inge!

10:50 am

Aloyisius

off I go .. need to scratch some items off my "to do" list.. thanks for the company, Babblers.. see you next grid. Have a great Monday!

10:51 am

Haz1558

BYe Aloy.

10:51 am

Riverdance

clue for the cr8 please

10:54 am

Haz1558

cr8 - c plus a prefix meaning to do again (two letters), first two letters of not even, finish with mixed up letters of a heavy weight. The whole looks like something you'd wear to stop perspiration or something.

10:54 am

rururocks

thank you haz

10:55 am

Dachef

cr8 - what fences wear under their armpits to stop sweating.

10:55 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone, as usual a perfect clue, haz, thanks

10:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:55 am

rururocks

fences?

10:55 am

Anniebrook

dachef, great clue too

10:56 am

Dachef

yup. ;D

10:56 am

rururocks

I didn't know fences sweat.. why would farmers leave them out in the sun?

10:56 am

Haz1558

As punishment, of course.

10:57 am

Anniebrook

fences in a farm or fences who sell stolen g4s

10:57 am

rururocks

I am starting FETA an new protection organization

10:57 am

rururocks

the fence ethical treatment association

10:57 am

Haz1558

FETA might be a bit of a cheesy name.

10:58 am

rururocks

we have wine and cheese at our meetings

10:58 am

Dachef

that would ne-gate its own purpose. (Geddit???)

10:58 am

Haz1558

And if members don't behave, do they walk the plank?

10:59 am

rururocks

I knew you would POST that Dachef

10:59 am

Dachef

this is a new field for me. I'm hedging my bets at the moment.

10:59 am

Haz1558

The theme song sung by all members would be 'Don't fence me in'

10:59 am

rururocks

lol

11:00 am

rururocks

every member is automatically "wired"

11:00 am

rururocks

er7? does it relate to the er5?

11:01 am

Riverdance

finally got it - thanks haz - brain is working alittle slow this Monday

11:01 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, Mom.

11:02 am

Haz1558

It carries it on. (the er5)

11:04 am

rururocks

thanks

11:05 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:05 am

EvaNadine

i cant decide what i want for lunch, but im hungry, so i guess id better PICKET soon!

11:06 am

rururocks

I would corral in a nice salad eva

11:07 am

Haz1558

No stonewalling,ruru, just jump right in with suggestions.

11:07 am

EvaNadine

i guess it all hinges on what im hungry for...

11:08 am

Dachef

you're right on the border with that one...

11:08 am

sciencegeek

why is lickety so out of date?

11:08 am

rururocks

you would have to have lettuce instead of lattice though

11:08 am

sciencegeek

Does anyone have a list?

11:10 am

Boobear

theres one at Babblers Anonymous

11:11 am

EvaNadine

BRB all. im no longer on the fence -- im gonna have my quesadilla! (i got them at austin grill, not on the BORDER!)

11:12 am

Dachef

Why can't 'orcing' be a word? As in Tolkien, LOTR, Book 2 (deleted scenes): "Fancy coming out for a bit of wizarding Saluman?" "Sorry Gandalf, can't tonight. Got a fair bit of orcing to do."

11:12 am

Riverdance

the person that posts lickety had an accident and broke her leg so it will be out for awhile

11:12 am

crosshair

would be orking

11:12 am

Dachef

11:13 am

crosshair

11:20 am

Haz1558

in7 - the sort of feud that's kept in the family?

11:20 am

helensgirlkid

For those wondering about Lickety - Mr. P had a fall (in chicken yard?) and broke left leg, right ankle.

11:20 am

rururocks

thank you

11:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

in7- not "out there" but in**** with gerund ending

11:22 am

Haz1558

That's the in8, Kaplan.

11:22 am

EvaNadine

whilst my leftover quesadilla is quite yummy, methinks me may also need a salad...

11:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oops- can't count. But I like my clue

11:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

So I don't get the in7 clue then

11:24 am

parisla

and just the word I needed, so thanks Kaplan!

11:24 am

sciencegeek

in plus to battle with

11:24 am

Anniebrook

thanks Haz, got two words from that clue

11:24 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Annie.

11:30 am

crosshair

my dad used to like then..stunk the house up lol

11:30 am

Haz1558

It has a double consonant in the middle, though. Just call me Fusspot today.

Elephant ears? Which county fair are you going to? What are elephant ears???

12:10 pm

Deeha

what are elephant ears?? We get pig ears but we give them to our dogs!!

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, they make a kind of a cripy flat-bread think, then fry it, then sprinkle it with sugar. it's deadly.

12:10 pm

sciencegeek

they are plants

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cripy = crispy. (OY)

12:10 pm

Vicuna

Oh, like funnel cakes? Yum.

12:11 pm

Yes, caladium are called elephant ears, too, but I don't think people eat them!

12:11 pm

I know about elephant ears -- yummy!

Deeha

Now you atre making me hungry!!

12:11 pm

Well, I only know of elephant ear plants. Your's sound yummy.

12:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm in michigan and up here they are called elephant ears. they are about the size of a dinner plate. they "showed up" maybe 10-15 years ago. didn't have 'em when i was gorwing up

12:12 pm

sciencegeek

Does anyone have a clue for the lower lone I?

12:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gorwing (which is in the grid) = growing (YO)

12:12 pm

Deeha

I was introdiced to sopapillas when I was visiting now they are yum!!

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Aha, here's the word: elephant ears are made with yeast dough and funnel cakes with batter.

12:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the it5 is a many-stringed instrument, without the initial Z

Well, I've learned one thing, management can get away with murder, because the ones they go to never look below them at the people, they just believe what they're told. Amazing how much incompetence can hide in plain sight.

CadFan

Crutches SUCK! (Says one who spent more than a month wheelchair bound nearly 2 years ago)

3:56 pm

For instance, I'm stuck with being the Queen of Non Political Correctness because I will insist on calling Native Americans (if that is still the 'PC' term now) Red Injuns.

In your recipe on your profile, dcs, you appartently need 2lbs of them to make it.

10:33 pm

dcseain

much smaller than chorizo, and all linked

10:33 pm

dcseain

i can't eat italian sausage. you need small, fatty sausages for it, or add fat, as with the veggie ones.

Jacula

Spicy sausages, I think?

10:34 pm

hootowl
